The invention relates to a system for approximate center Liere mn "relates inabesondere a device for distributing the dry UUED liquid feed to the feeding places.

The demand for high-quality lean meat at reasonable prices is constantly increasing. An improvement in the production of meat was created by careful rearing and selection of the animals in order to increase the proportion of meat in the carcass in this way.

This way lean tissues without being excessively thick to form external and internal adipose tissue.

If the feed is limited per feeding and if the animals are fed repeatedly, the animals then consume all of the feed available and gain weight better. Bobs mean a saving in feed that the animals usually leave lying around and that often amounts to 10% of the total amount of feed. The distribution of prescribed amounts of liquid feed is also beneficial for the weight gain of certain animals, for example pigs. The repeated feeding with ν or written amounts of dry food and the correct mixing with water, however, requires time and effort if the desired amounts are to be adhered to exactly and if distribution is to take place at regular intervals, unless new distribution systems are created »·.

With the invention, such a System for distributing precisely prescribed feed quantities created at one or more feeding points and a plant is also to be created in the weighed amounts of dry feed to the Feeding points distributed in liquid form? will be ko

1 shows an automatic feed weighing and feed distribution system 10 according to the invention, which contains a large storage container 11 for storing filled amounts of dry feed which is made and mixed from the correct components which are necessary for the animals to be fed. The feed coming from the store 11 is distributed by means of a conveyor: 12, which extends over several feeding stations. The feeding points S can be separated by partition walls or grids located inside the building or by grids located outside the building. There is one animal or several animals _{at 1 of each feeding point.} -The amount of feed dispensed at each feeding point depends on the number of animals to be fed.

. The conveyor 12 located in the conveyor housing is supported by a wot or. 13 driven, del via an automatic working timer 14 switched on intermittently is, so that der.Förderer 12 at predetermined times is working. The switching on of the conveyor 12 when there is insufficient feed stock in the memory 11 is controlled by a Sicherheitsachalter 15 forbid that near the bottom of the attic 11 is arranged and in legs with the kotor in the circuit lies. If the days of the 11. existing in memory

Fatter means falls below the level of switch 15, the switch opens the circuit and the conveyor 12 remains so until additional s feed has been filled into the memory 11. .

Each feeding station S has a weighing device 16 set up in such a way that there is a prescribed one Weighs and takes in the quantity of food. At the Ye3 division of the feed from the feed conveyor 12 all weighing devices 16 taking place on the edge are automatically closed or locked as soon as the prescribed Amount of feed taken from the weighing device 16 has been. After locking the last weighing device. 16 is the end of the distribution cycle and the timer opens automatically to the emergency circuit switch off at the end of this cycle.

In the embodiment shown, the Ford housing of the conveyor 12 also carries a trigger slide 17 which is used to trigger and empty all weighing devices 16 and at the same time all weighing devices

The distribution of the liquid feed at the feeding points S takes place through a liquid dispenser before device 20, of which only two devices 2o near two sawing devices 16 are shown in FIG. If desired, additional liquid dispensing devices can be used 20 can be used. Any dispensing device 2o contains a container 21 which extends from the conveyor housing of the conveyor 12 hangs down and which takes up a liquid supply, e.g. Viasser.

The conveyor 12 extends through the lower section of the store 11. At this point, the chain 32 of the feed from the store 11: which is to be sent to the sawing device 16. Preferably will. the amount of feed flowing out of the memory 11 is regulated so that the feed can be moved in the housing 31 without disturbance. When the feedstuff is discharged from the conveyor 12 into the weighing device 16, the housing y \ has an opening 35 on each weighing device 16. After the feed has been delivered to all weighing devices, the endless chain 32 in the conveyor 12 is returned to the storage container 11. The chain 32 is driven by an electric motor 13 via a reduction gear 56 and a drive part), for example a drive toothed wheel 37.

The weighing device

All weighing devices 16 (Fi ^. 2 Ma 4) have the same design. In the preferred embodiment, the weighing devices 16 are on the housing 31 of the conveyor 12 by means of a U-shaped frame 41, which is above the housing 31, "attached. Below the Frame 41 is a measuring tube 42, which is of two downward parallel handlebars 43 carried will. The i & ßrohr 42 is arranged so that it is of the Feed material dispensed through the opening 35 by conveyor 12 records. Bas feed is in the measuring tube 42 of a Bottom en lock held in the example shown consists of two side flaps-44, which are at the bottom of the measuring tube 42 hinged and with the lower ends of the le-icer 43 are connected. To interrupt the feed supply An opening 35 is provided on the frame 41 for the discharge tube 42 optionally closing flap 46 by means of a transverse pin 47 hinged. .

According to one characteristic, a scale is 50 present, which accurately weighs a certain amount of feed that is transferred from the conveyor 12 to the weighing device 16 has been delivered. This scale 50 speaks automatically on when the feed poured into the measuring tube 42 has reached a predetermined weight. Bas response the balance 50 also closes the flap 46 and interrupts it as a result, the supply of feed via the opening

As a result, 51 is lifted and the handlebars are 4-3 lowered.

Due to the initial downward movement of the handlebars 4-3 is the measuring tube 4-2 from the conveyor 12 and from the tsag frame. 4-1 moved down. At the measuring tube 4-2 aird two Straps 56 fastened, which are fastened via pegs 57 with a lever

The liquid dispenser

The prescribed ones located in the measuring tubes Feed center, lines can be fed into the mixing cone be emptied together with water that is in the container η 21 is located to feed liquid To distribute form, as is desired e.g. when feeding pigs. The liquid from the container 21, e.g. water, is over the mixing cones 22 Pipelines 70 supplied, which have baffles 71, to direct the water jets downwards and onto the inner surfaces of the mixing cones 22 (Fig · 5) · As soon as the feed in the measuring tubes 42 according to, below uhd on the inclined flaps 44 to the outside slides, the feed mixes with the water flow.
